Many are asking why i posted part 18 on blog.. but trust me it wasn't intended.. i had to because IF was showing some error... pls bear with me this time..here is the link those who havent read... i have removed the pasword.
Days were moving fast for Geet due to shopping... And she had overcome the grief of Pari's break-up too... All thanks to the lesson by Maan sir...
Their night chat was same... Little bit of talking and more of fighting, but every word by him had a different impact on her... She was getting kind of lost in him... Her thought process would start from "what he will like?" and end on "will he like this?" all the while when she's shopping.
Uff mere dil mein thodi khaali si jagah thi
Uff tune aake bin kiraaye ye jagah li,
Kuch keh bhi na saki, ye kaisi bebasi
Yoon chupke chupke aaya bin bulaaya mehMaan
Uff mere dil mein thodi khaali si jagah thi
Humko na khabar kab kaise aaya woh Dil se khuss-phuss kya farmaaya woh
Humko na khabar kab kaise aaya woh
Dil se khuss-phuss kya farmaaya woh
So the latest update is she is not yet able to call him Maan in front of anyone... She tried many times... And was successful but only when she's alone... At any other times she would fail miserably, while Maan kept her pestering for same initially he didn't say anything as he wanted to give her sometime but then finally he was back at it... and that night had been worst of all...
-fb-
It was the very next night after they talked about Pari's break-up...
Today Geet didn't wait for his call as she knew he won't and himself will be waiting for her to call... So she called him herself...
As soon as he picked the call she started... Even before he could say hello...
Geet: thank you... Thank you so much...
Maan: hello Geet... Ye thank you kaha se aaya ...?
Geet: wo... Kal raat k liye... You made me calm issiliye...
Maan: hmm... That's fine... But i want to say u one thing that never lose hope even in hardest situations... A god helps only those who help themselves...
Geet: i will keep in mind...
Maan sense sincerity in her voice... But next second thought to make situation light..
Maan: aur ye kya tum chhoti chhoti baaton pe ghabra jaati ho... Mrs. Khurrana ki reputation ko suit nahi karta...
Ho.. Oo uff mere dil mein thodi khaali si jagah thi
Uff tune aake bin kiraaye ye jagah li,
Kuch keh bhi na saki, ye kaisi bebasi
Yoon chupke chupke aaya bin bulaaya mehMaan
Uff mere dil mein thodi, uff mere dil mein
Uff, uff, mere dil mein thodi khaali si jagah thi
Geet: huh... Kya...???
She was sincerely listening to him... And the sudden change in tone brought her back... Heat covered her as she realized what he said... Though even Pari said that too her... But it sounded more different coming from him...
She was still silent...
Maan: kya hua... Tum itni chup kaise ho aaj..??
Geet: kuchh nhi was just thinking about yesterday..
Maan: abb kya...?
Geet: hhmmm... Wen i told u about Pari and her break-up i had a little fear that what you will think..?
Maan sat up... Her serious tone and scarred voice...
Maan: matlab..
Geet: matlab what would u think about me and my friends...
Maan: Geet mujhe kuchh samajh nahi aa raha
Geet: woh... Woh I thought ki you would think i have a bad company... As these things... I mean all this relationship and stuff.. Papa does not approve of it and... And I thought u would also...
Maan(st): ye kya bol rahi hai...??? Did i give any signal of being such purane khayalon wala... Old man types... She thinks I'm like hitler sasurji. 😲
Maan: Geet... Geet stop
Geet: kya hua...? Aap naraz ho...?
Maan: obviously...
And without even hearing the whole of his sentence she was all ready to flood her room with her tears...
Geet: sorry...
She said meekly... and Maan hit his head realizing her state...
Maan: Geet... Do I look like some old man to you...??
Geet: 😕 nahi toh...
Maan: then why did you think that I will have problem with your friend being in a relationship...? Yes I agree that we have quite an age gap... but that doesn't mean you think of me as some old man...!!
And Geet got really scarred thinking she hurt him.
Geet: wo bass... Aise hi laga... as papa thinks like that... and he is always right for me... And so are you.
She said out her thoughts... And he was amazed at her that, this girl is so nave... she has accepted him as her life partner by all heart deep down in her sub-conscious mind... While her consciousness is still ruled by their past relation leading to all her shyness and hesitations... uff he was falling for her again that too more hard this time... how to tame this silly heart...?? He thought.
Kya kya karaogi khwaabon mein hum se Badloon mein rang kitne khamakhaan
Udha udha ban ke gubbaaraa, mera dil buddhoo bechara,
Haule haule tune pukaara, jahan bhi wahaan ye jaaye
Maan: Geet...
He called her softly... not knowing how to voice out his feelings... he was choked first by her affection then the effect it had on his love filled heart.
Geet: sorry... really sorry..!!
Maan: chup... Bilkul chup..!!
He said loudly to make her shut and instantly as a reflex her finger rested on her lips... obeying him.
Maan(st): now how to make this silly girl come out of her guilt...!!! 🤔
He took a long deep breath and finally... An idea clicked up.
Maan: waise Geet...
He started off with a teasing tone... which relaxed Geet a bit... but the she cannot speak now... sir's orders... 😛
Geet: hmmm...
Maan: mai toh old fashioned nahi hu... parr mujhe lagta hai ki would-be-Mrs. Khurrana bahut old fashioned hai...
Geet: haww... And why do you think so...
She countered instantly... keeping quite flew out of the window and her mouth opened wide at his comment.
Maan: aur nahi toh kya... abb dekho... tumne aaj tak mujhe Maan nahi bulaya...
Hope you are not planning to call me A-g all life-long... I'm not a piece of silver after all..!!!
He finished off with a smirk... while she was confused... other things are ok... but why would he compare himself with a piece of silver 😕
She was about to ask him when it striked...
Geet(st): uff... His chemistry joke went over my head...!! 🤢
(😆 silver is denoted as "Ag" in chemical equation after its Latin name Argentum... hope I'm right about it being Latin 😛)
Geet: aisa kuchh nahi hai... I can also call you by name...
She tried her best to sound confident... But he could make out her nervousness out of her voice...
Maan: accha...!!! Toh shubh kaam me deri kyu...? Abhi bolo...
Geet: nahi.. Abhi nahi...
Maan: kyu Geet...??
He asked innocently.
Geet: wo abhi... Haan abhi muhurt thik nahi hai... she made a silly excuse...
And Maan had a hard time controlling his laughter...
Maan: rehne do Geet... tumse nahi hoga...
And she pouted... While he laughed...!!!
Zara zara yoon aankhein meeche, dheere dheere ye tere peeche
Zara zara ye kheenche kheenche
Dekho na dekho,
Humko na khabar kab kaise aaya woh
Dil se khuss-phuss kya farmaaya woh
Humko na khabar kab kaise aaya woh
Dil se khuss-phuss kya farmaaya woh
-fb ends-
And this has been their routine... And it's going to be a week now..!! And she had enough of his teasing...
So Geet has decided that she will call him by name tonight no matter what... It's her resolution.
It was their usual time of their call and Geet's cell rang up... over the week he did call her a couple of time so without even looking at the screen she picked her cell up and before the caller could say hello she spoke up...
Geet: hello Maan...
Geet(st): I did it... yes yes...
Caller: Maan nahi... Maan ki mom... Aur tumhari bhi...!!!
Avantika spoke from the other side making Geet shocked and embarrassed. While Avantika was amused that Geet didn't give her time to say hello even and assumed her to be Maan.
Geet(st): Aunty...!!!
Babaji.. Ye kya karwa diya... abb aunty mere bare me kya sochengi..
She mumbled and cursed herself on her foolishness...
Avantika: mom yehi sochengi ki tum kitni besabri se apne Maan ke call ka intezar kar rahi thi...
She replied teasingly... as her mumblings gave her a good opportunity to tease her...
Geet: nahi... wo... Maa... I mean aunty...
She fumbled badly getting nervous talking to her saasu-ma on phone for the first time.
Avantika: maa bolo beta... Ya mom... Ye aunty mujhe suit nahi karta...
She said last part in a fake tone making Geet smile...
Geet: ji maa...
Avantika: waise i am sorry... Tum Maan k call ka wait karr rahi thi... Aur maine tumhe disturb kiya...
Avantika(st): what to do i just can't control teasing the new couple...
To that Geet immediately replied..
Geet: nahi maa its ok... Aap boliye shopping kaise chali rahi..??
She didn't know what else to say... And asking directly why she called her may sound rude...
Avantika: arre haan... Mai toh bhul hi gayi... Maine tumko issiliye call kiya ki you should come here tomorrow... To our house, i wanna show you our khandani zevar... And then we can decide on the new ones to buy for you... Come early around 8... Then i will take to market tomorrow... Tumhare mummy-papa se permission le li hai..
Geet: ji ma... Mai aa jaaungi.
Avantika could sense her restlessness to cut the call...
Avantika: chalo abb mai hi tumse baat karti rahungi toh Maan so jaaega... Fir tumhari usse baat nahi ho paaegi aaj... Call cut kar do...!!!
She said that as a matter of fact... But her previous teasing still had an effect on Geet and she blushed... And Avantika herself cut the call shaking her head at their shyness...
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Next morning Geet reached her sasural at sharp 8... And how difficult was that only rano knew as she was the one who had to wake Geet up at 7 in the morning... That was a tough job, to get Geet out of bed before 9 am... Still she somehow managed.
Geet entered... She was seeing his house for the first time... And was awed by the interior... Though it wasn't a very big house... A simple 3.5 BHK flat... But it had welcoming warmth and Geet didn't feel like she was coming here for the first time.
Avantika welcomed her in and took her to room... She opened her safe and showed her jewelry... Geet was fine with it as she wasn't the girl to go behind that, she needed them only to wear during the ceremony that too only because its compulsory... Else if things are left on her discretion she would get herself a red night suit to wear during her wedding.
They were done discussing about the jewels when the door-bell rang, Geet got up...
Geet: maa mai dekhti hu kon hai... Tabb tak aap jewelry waps safe me rakh lijiye..
Saying that Geet moved to the door... But it took her more time as the room was at the farthest corner away from door... While the one outside seemed really impatient as the bell kept ringing again and again continuously... Geet got really furious at the person... She ran to door... She was all ready to burst on the person as soon as the door opens...
While the other side Maan just returned from his morning jog... He rang the bell but it was taking time for mom to open the gate... But why he thought and got worried as this happened sometimes previously when she gets an asthama attack... And he started to ring the bell continuously in worry... Also banging the door maybe it opens if it was not closed properly...
And finally the door opened suddenly... Maan was pushed in as he was very near to the door and was hitting at it and as the door opened he hit a soft body... She was about to fall... But he caught her on time and pulled her towards him... Now they were hugging each-other... Geet's eyes was close all the while anticipating a fall... But that never came... so she opened her eyes slowly, their eyes locked with each-other...
Kehne ko toh , teri wajah se hai
Saara jahaan , nayi jagah si hai
Kehne ko toh , teri wajah se hai
Saara jahaan , nayi jagah si hai
Sabko khabar aur sabko pata bhi hai
Ye jo huya, dekho abhi toh chodo
Tumbhi ye bahana toh, milke badle,
Dil nazrana do
They were still in the hug while both came to the sense and realized their position... Both were hell embarrassed now and they could feel the heat from others body though the fabric... Still they didn't break the hug lost in the moment...
Avantika: Geet... Kon aaya hai beta...???
She called out from inside bringing them back to reality... The separated immediately and straightened themselves... Till now Avantika also had reached them...
Avantika: ohh Maan hai...
(to Maan): jao jaa ke fresh ho jao... You need to drop us to the market.
Maan nodded and left... While his eyes were no-where ready to leave Geet... And Geet had already lowered her eyes...
Humko na khabar kab kaise aaya woh
Dil se khuss-phuss kya farmaaya woh
Ho.. uff mere dil mein thodi khaali si jagah thi
Uff tune aake bin kiraaye ye jagah li,
Kuch keh bhi na saki, ye kaisi bebasi
Yoon chupke chupke aaya bin bulaaya mehMaan
Uff mere dil mein thodi khaali si jagah thi
Maan got his car out like a good driver and waited for them to come... While he was wondering who will sit beside him in the passenger seat... Mom ya Geet...
Maan(st): Ager mom baithengi toh Geet ko bura toh nahi lagega na...??!!
No... Mom will not let that happen she loves her bahu more than me now...
Parr ager Geet baithegi toh mom will tease me to death...
Ohh god meri halat toh aisi hai... Ek taraf kua toh dusri taraf khaii..
Babaji bachao...
Avantika: Maan kaha kho gaye..???
Maan: haan... Nahi kuchh nahi ma...
He said slightly and then he noticed that his ma was sitting at the back seat while Geet was still standing outside not knowing how to climb in beside him.
Avantika: Geet ander baitho... Bahar kya kaarr rahi ho...
She called out... And in response Geet hurriedly opened the back door and sat in beside Avantika... Maan who was continuously looking at Geet was shocked, while Avantika had a hard time controlling her laughter...
Maan turned around in his seat now facing them...
Maan: excuse me ladies... Do I look like a driver over here..???? Mom aagey aaiye please.
Avantika: sorry dear... I'm having back pain.. And why don't you ask your fiancee rather than your old mom...
She faked a stern look and waited for their reactions...
Geet was just blushing keeping her head low... While Maan blushed a little too... he then composed himself and spoke up softly...
Maan: Geet.. Tum aagey aa jao...
Uff mere dil mein thodi khaali si jagah thi
Humko na khabar kab kaise aaya woh
Dil se khuss-phuss kya farmaaya woh
Humko na khabar kab kaise aaya woh
Dil se khuss-phuss kya farmaaya woh
Ho.. oo
Uff mere dil mein thodi khaali si jagah thi
Uff mere dil mein thodi khaali si jagah thi
Uff mere dil mein thodi khaali si jagah thi
Geet: ji..
She obliged... while Geet was outside the car Avantika whispered to Maan...
Avantika: achha ji.. Mujhko order de rahe thhe or jab apni biwi ki baari aayi toh "Geet... tum aagey aa jao"
She mimicked his soft tone...
Maan: mom..!!
Avantika: haan chalo abb gadi chalao... Late ho raha hai...
.
Rest of the day passed insignificantly... Other than Maaneet being more than usual lost... off-course it was the effect of "the hug"
